Ooops. You are right. Please s/SPI\/I2C/SCC2 ethernet/ ! Before I
tell more such nonsense let's quote the description that comes
included with the patch: "model allows concurrent operation of
Ethernet and SMC(UART) and I2C/SPI by solving the parameter RAM
conflict caused by the fact that some of the Ethernet parameters
overlay the SMC(UART) and I2C/SPI parameters."

If you use SCC2 for ethernet, it's parameter RAM will use the DPRAM
from offset 3E00 to offset 3EA4; without relocation the SMC1
parameter RAM uses offsets 3E80 to 3EB4, thus you have a conflict for
the 3E80...3EA4 area.
